Plan Ahead. Arrive on Time. Never Miss What Matters. DateAlarm lets you schedule alarms for exact calendar dates — not just daily repeats. Set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, exams, flights, meetings, or any important event in your life. Choose the precise day and time, even months or years in advance. Real life doesn't repeat every day, so neither do your alarms. Set one for the 1st and the last day of every month for rent and bills. Or for the 2nd Thursday for your team meeting, the 1st Monday for your book club. DateAlarm handles the awkward months for you — pick the 31st and it simply skips the months that don't have one, and "last day" always lands right whether the month ends on the 28th, 29th, 30th or 31st. And DateAlarm wakes you by place, not just time. Set a location alarm and get woken as you approach your destination — your train or bus stop, your station, or anywhere you need to get off. Perfect for commuters, travelers, and anyone who likes to nap on the way. It keeps working even when the app is closed, so you can relax and trust it to alert you in time. Follow every trip live with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — see your remaining distance and ETA at a glance, without ever opening the app. Your countdown timers show up there too. Keep your next alarm in sight with widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, or just ask Siri — "Set a date alarm", "Turn off my Flight alarm" — without touching your phone at all. Key Features • Schedule alarms for any specific date — days, months, or years ahead • Monthly alarms on the dates that matter — the 1st, the 15th, or the last day of every month, however long that month is • Repeat by pattern — the 1st Thursday, the 2nd Monday, the 3rd Friday • Weekly alarms with one-tap Weekdays, Weekends and Every Day presets • Location alarms — get woken as you near your stop or destination • Live Activity & Dynamic Island — track distance and ETA at a glance • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your next alarm • Siri and Shortcuts — create, turn on and turn off alarms by voice • Quick alarms — ring in 10 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour, in one tap • Rings through Silent mode and Focus, so you never sleep through it • 28 alarm sounds, from gentle tones to unmissable — plus a silent option that shows on screen without a sound • Custom snooze, or no snooze at all • Works in the background, even when the app is closed • Custom labels for every alarm and trip • Designed for iPhone and iPad • Clean, distraction-free interface • Built-in stopwatch with lap tracking • Beautiful countdown timers with live updates • World clock for global time tracking • Simple, fast, and reliable performance Whether you're planning months ahead, paying the rent on the last day of every month, or just trying to wake up at the right stop, DateAlarm helps you stay on time — every time. Smart alarms. Real dates. Real places. Total control.
